Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

The Invisible Made Visible

Blood   Frogs   Life    Wild Animals
    Pestilence    Boils    Hail    Locusts
   Darkness    Smiting of the Firstborn  

    The Ten Plagues of Ancient Egypt
  Visited upon Egypt by an Invisible God
        Momentarily Become Visible

         Executing Strict Judgment
       On a Nation of Slave-owners
           and Cruel Taskmasters  

            Everyone knows:
               When Israel
           was in Egypt's Land 
           --Let My People Go!

        Who Has Paid Attention? 
      Who has Learned the Lesson? 
         God Waits and Watches...

Tom Cunningham April 22, 2019 at 6:03 AM And even today lessons still haven't been learnt. But they'll reap what they sow. Tom Gershon Wolf April 22, 2019 at 11:55 AM Spot on, Tom. And it certainly seems that the descendants of the white slaveholders in the USA are now reaping what they sowed. Slavery is truly an unmitigated evil. ~ Gershon
